The Gene Autry Show

Narrow Escape - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Gene is chasing a smuggler who is driving a horse and buggy with an unwitting Pat Buttram by his side. The smuggler drives past a roadside post marking the U.S.-Mexico border. In the immediate long shot of Gene chasing him, the post has disappeared. (00:22:05)

Narrow Escape - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: Gene is chasing a stagecoach robber. Both men are on horseback and shooting at each other. When the stagecoach robber runs out of bullets, he puts his gun back in the holster. In the next shot, he again puts the gun back in the holster. (00:09:30)

Thunder Out West - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: George Evans and Reverend Parker are playing chess when they hear a knock at the door. George asks, "Now who could that be at this late hour?" Gene enters and says, "I hate to trouble you at this time of night." Gene says the Cattlemen's Association safe has been blown open and asks George to ride into town with him and determine how much money is missing. When they arrive in town, it is midday. (00:04:40)

Melody Mesa - S2-E14

Continuity mistake: The episode opens with a close-up of a poster saying "Elect John Nevers Sheriff" and the shadows of several branches across it. In the long shot, the branches are blowing in the wind. The opening shot is obviously a still photo. (00:00:38)

The Breakup - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: When Jeff Derrington arrives on horseback at his ranch, his wife and a baby carriage are in the yard. The carriage is covered by a white blanket. A close-up shows a baby boy in the carriage, even though Jeff never removed the blanket.

The Star Toter - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: While Gene plays guitar and sings "Back In The Saddle Again," a close-up shows the chuck wagon cook waving his ladle back and forth in time with the music. In the following long shot, the cook is leaning over and dipping the ladle into a stew pot.

The Sheriff of Santa Rosa - S1-E23

Other mistake: Gene is chasing Ted Nolan, who is believed to have ties to a gang of cattle rustlers. Both men are on horseback. A long shot of Gene riding across a range is followed by a long shot of Ted riding across the same range so it appears Ted is chasing Gene instead of the other way around.
